In addition to loss of muscle mass, inadequate calorie intake can lead to loss of bone density and an increased risk of fatigue, illness, injuries and poor recovery.
<h3>Why is it important to consume adequate calories?</h3>
- When your consumption of calories is not adequate, your body will not get all the necessary nutrients.
- It slows down the metabolism so as to conserve energy
- Calorie restriction can lead to reduce in leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite.
- Lower levels of leptin can lead to increase in hunger thus a person overeats. This results in increase in body weight.
- Low-calorie dieting increases stress and results in the release of the stress hormone (cortisol).
- Due to response to stress, the body conserves energy and the metabolism slows to combat the risk of starvation.
- Therefore, it is important to consume appropriate amount of calories and nutrients.

The second option because solar energy is a renewable source which can be used again.
The third option because walking to work or school would mean that you aren’t using Carbon Dioxide (which is harmful to the environment)
And the 4th option because even though using trains and buses uses Carbon Dioxide, more people can go into one transportation (and it’s public) and they don’t need to use vehicles which is mostly for individuals (mostly only one person driving a car. No passengers)
invasive species cost the United States more than $120 billion in damages every year.
A waterborne pollutant can have different effects on aquatic life depending on the nature of the pollutant. A pollutant at lower levels can have minimal or no effect on aquatic life. However, when the concentrations of the pollutant are high, the population of aquatic organisms can be greatly reduced. There are also times when pollutants at lower concentrations cause significant damage. An organism can consume another organism that has absorbed small amounts of the pollutant. As the consumer takes in more of the contaminated organism, the pollutant is magnified in the body of the consumer resulting in lethal concentrations. This is called biomagnification.
